Hmm, the backspace key does work in my telnet :-) (but you can't
correct past a newline though)

It's a lot faster to use host:

$ host -t mx web.lu
web.lu mail is handled (pri=10) by web.lu
web.lu mail is handled (pri=20) by relay.web.lu

Remember to enter a few headers (like From, To or Subject) otherwise
some mailreaders will not show the message.

Remember that the "." should be the first character on the line (and
the only character on the line). This is used to mark the end of the
message.

The reason it could appear to be otherwise in Jeff's email is
ofcourse, that his message were also transferred through email. Then
it's customary to change that . into something else (normally two
dots, but it can also be done by putting a space before the dot).

To make it clear, I just sent this email to make sure that everyone
remembered that the dot has to be the first character on the
line. Otherwise you will be stuck in that data-prompt :-)
